Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide
system. PODxt also grabs its processed signal before routing it to the Record Sends its internal
Monitoring system immediately, to provide a low latency monitor signal, and then mixes it with the rest
of your audio to your monitoring system.
The Line 6 Audio-MIDI Device Control Panel
Since your Line 6 device includes our high-performance audio driver, it can act as a USB sound card
for just about any audio software that might be installed on your computer. This is the place where you
can access the audio driver settings for your connected device to see and configure things such as the
current Sample Rate, Bit Depth, Buffer settings, Record Sends, etc. One thing to note here is that this
dialog offers controls specifically for your Line 6 hardware. The GearBox software is independent of
these settings, however, you’ll see information regarding your Record Sends here which may change
depending on whether GearBox is currently running or not. For TonePort and GuitarPort devices, you
can think of the GearBox software like a giant rack of gear – if it is not running and configured to use
your TonePort/GuitarPort hardware, your guitar signal will still be heard, but will be “naked”, without
all those lovely amp & effects sounds. For PODxt devices, since your Tone is always running on the
PODxt itself, you’ll hear whatever your PODxt’s Tone and audio routing settings are set to deliver,
and GearBox can be running or not to control which Tones you want to hear. There, aren’t you feeling
smarter already?
The options in the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Device dialog are slightly different if you are on a Windows®
versus a Mac® system, and also slightly different depending on which Line 6 hardware you are using.
